The Burn

1. Address the root cause of weight loss resistance: inflammation, digestion, or hormones

"If you can't lose the weight you need to lose, there is always a reason. Always."

Identify your issue. Weight loss resistance stems from three main causes: inflammation leading to water retention, digestive dysfunction causing stubborn yellow fat accumulation, or hormonal imbalance resulting in hormone-induced white fat. Each issue requires a targeted approach to break through plateaus and achieve lasting results.

Choose your plan. The Burn offers three distinct plans:

• I-Burn: 3-day plan targeting inflammation and water retention
• D-Burn: 5-day plan focusing on digestive health and yellow fat
• H-Burn: 10-day plan addressing hormonal imbalance and white fat

By selecting the plan that addresses your specific issue, you can effectively overcome weight loss resistance and jumpstart your metabolism.

2. The I-Burn plan targets inflammation and water retention for quick results

"In just three days, you're going to look tighter, slimmer, and younger. And plateaus? A distant memory."

Rapid transformation. The I-Burn plan is designed for quick results, targeting inflammation and water retention to reduce puffiness, bloating, and cellulite. This 3-day plan focuses on:

• Balancing pH levels
• Supporting kidney and lymphatic system function
• Flushing out excess fluids and toxins

Key components:

• I-Burn Smoothie: Packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients
• I-Burn Tea: Supports detoxification and reduces inflammation
• I-Burn Soup: Nourishes the kidneys and lymphatic system
• Specific fruits, vegetables, and proteins to support the body's natural detoxification processes

3. The D-Burn plan focuses on digestive health and clearing stubborn yellow fat

"In five days, you'll lose inches in your belly, butt, hips, and thighs. You'll let go of belly bloat and dig into that heavy thickness of fat blanketing your body."

Digestive overhaul. The D-Burn plan targets digestive issues and stubborn yellow fat accumulation over 5 days. It aims to:

• Heal the mucosal lining of the digestive tract
• Improve digestion and nutrient absorption
• Melt away hard, dense yellow fat

Core elements:

• D-Burn Smoothie: Promotes enzyme production for fat breakdown
• D-Burn Tea: Stimulates healthy bowel movements
• D-Burn Soup: Soothes and heals the mucosal lining
• Specific foods and recipes to support digestive health and fat metabolism

4. The H-Burn plan balances hormones and targets hormone-induced white fat

"In ten days, you'll feel like you have a whole new body, and you could lose up to ten pounds!"

Hormonal harmony. The H-Burn plan addresses hormonal imbalances and targets hormone-induced white fat over 10 days. It focuses on:

• Supporting liver, gallbladder, and thyroid function
• Balancing hormone production and regulation
• Melting away stubborn white fat deposits

Key components:

• H-Burn Smoothie: Supports bile production for fat emulsification
• H-Burn Tea: Nourishes the thyroid and supports hormone activation
• H-Burn Soup: Feeds the liver for effective hormone conversion
• Specific foods and recipes to support hormone balance and fat metabolism

5. Customize your approach with targeted Success Boosters for each plan

"Success Boosters are close to my heart. Over the years, I have collected these holistic folk and home remedies, as well as other natural medicine strategies."

Enhance your results. Each Burn plan offers a variety of Success Boosters to amplify the effects of the core program. These include:

• Exercise recommendations
• Additions to smoothies, teas, and soups
• Easy boosts (e.g., deep breathing, essential oils, flower essences)
• Intense boosts (e.g., infrared sauna, lymphatic massage, wheatgrass shots)

Choose at least one Success Booster per day to complement your chosen Burn plan and maximize your results. These boosters can also be incorporated into your daily routine beyond the initial program for ongoing health benefits.

6. Nourish your body with specific foods, teas, and smoothies for each Burn plan

"Food is medicine, and it can help or harm the body, depending on how you use it."

Strategic nutrition. Each Burn plan features carefully selected foods, teas, and smoothies designed to address specific issues and support the body's healing processes.

Key nutritional components:

• I-Burn: Anti-inflammatory foods, diuretic herbs, and alkalizing ingredients
• D-Burn: Digestive-supporting foods, probiotic-rich ingredients, and enzyme-boosting herbs
• H-Burn: Hormone-balancing foods, liver-supporting herbs, and thyroid-nourishing ingredients

Follow the meal plans and recipes provided for each Burn plan to ensure you're giving your body the specific nutrients it needs to overcome weight loss resistance and achieve optimal health.

7. Transition to maintenance or further weight loss after completing The Burn

"The Burn is not a lifestyle. I don't suggest my clients eat like the meal plans on The Burn every day for the rest of their lives, because The Burn uses foods at a therapeutic level to evoke change."

Next steps. After completing your chosen Burn plan, assess your progress and decide on your next course of action:

1. For continued weight loss: Transition to The Fast Metabolism Diet (FMD) for a comprehensive 28-day metabolism repair program.
2. For maintenance: Adopt the Fast Metabolism lifestyle, incorporating principles from The Burn as needed.
3. For addressing multiple issues: Cycle through different Burn plans to target various areas of concern.

Remember that The Burn is designed as a short-term intervention to overcome specific obstacles. Use it strategically in conjunction with a sustainable long-term approach to health and weight management.

8. Incorporate The Burn strategies into your lifestyle for long-term health

"Did I eat to repair my metabolism? Did I eat to reduce inflammation? Did I eat to halt fat storage? Did I eat to scavenge subcutaneous fat, yellow fat, white fat? Did I eat to heal and shrink my gut? Did I eat to achieve hormone balance?"

Lasting habits. While The Burn is not meant to be followed indefinitely, many of its principles and strategies can be incorporated into your daily life for ongoing health benefits:

Key habits to maintain:

• Eat five times a day, every 3-4 hours
• Consume breakfast within 30 minutes of waking
• Drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily
• Choose organic, hormone-free foods when possible
• Avoid meats cured with nitrites and nitrates

By continuing to use elements of The Burn, such as specific teas, smoothies, or Success Boosters, you can support your body's natural healing processes and maintain a healthy metabolism long-term.
